The Happy Buddha Hostel in Yogyakarta is a great base for exploring the city, surrounded by charming restaurants and art galleries. I loved the vibrant decor and relaxing atmosphere. However, the bathrooms could use a deeper clean, and the fan-only rooms can get quite stuffy on hotter days. The noise from the nearby mosque was also disruptive in the mornings, which was a downside for me.
